Speaking of SSD IOPs. Running the same tests on my SSDs (LiteOn ECT-480N9S 480GB SSDs): The lines at the bottom are a single 6TB spinning disk for comparison's sake. http://imgur.com/a/fD0Mh Based on these numbers, there is a minimum latency per operation, but multiple operations can be performed simultaneously. The sweet spot for my SSDs is ~8 journals per SSD to maximize IOPs on a per journal basis. Unfortunately, at 8 journals, the overall IOPs is much less than the stated IOPs for the SSD. (~5000 vs 9000 IOPs). Better than spinning disks, but not what I was expecting.
